With Real Housewives of New JerseySeason 9 starting up, the biggest story is one that doesn’t even play out during this season’s episodes. A judge ruled that Teresa Giudice’s husband Joe Giudicewill be deported to Italy. This will happen after he finishes his prison sentence in March 2019. Joe has lived in the United States since he was a baby. He got married in this country. He has four daughters born on American soil. Even with all that, he never filled out the paperwork for citizenship.

In a video interview with People Now, Margaret shared her thoughts on the deportation ruling. She explained, “I think she needs love [and] support from all of us and that’s what we’re giving her. This is the most devastating news, as I’ve said before, in Housewives of history as far as I’m concerned, but she’s the strongest woman I know. She will handle it in the best way, just like she does with everything else.”

Margaret admitted, “I actually haven’t seen her. We’ve texted. We’ve been in touch.” Based on that communication, Margaret said, “All I can say is she’s the strongest girl I know and she needs the support.”

Margaret theorized, “I think [because] Teresa’s working, I’m sure she will live there part-time to be with her husband. He’s an amazing father. The girls will see him. I don’t know if she’s going to move there full-time. I just know that she will be working. She’s international. She’s always working everywhere. It remains to be seen.” Maybe the Real Housewives of New Jersey will take a cast trip to Italy during Season 10.
